Is NAD+ Safe?

Is NAD+ Safe?

The buzz around NAD+ therapy is everywhere, but is it safe? We dive into the science and cut through the hype to give you the clear, expert-backed facts you need to make a safe, informed choice for your health.

Is NAD+ Safe? A Comprehensive Guide to Navigating NAD+ Therapy

In the world of health and wellness, new trends and treatments are constantly emerging, and NAD+ therapy is one of the most talked-about topics today. You've likely heard about its potential benefits for anti-aging, energy, and overall cellular health. But with all the hype comes a critical question: Is NAD+ safe?

As a leader in the telehealth space committed to your safety and well-being, we want to provide a transparent, fact-based answer. The short answer is yes, when administered correctly and sourced from a reputable, accredited provider, NAD+ is considered safe. However, the full answer is more nuanced and depends heavily on two key factors: source and supervision.

What Exactly is NAD+?

NAD+ (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) is a naturally occurring coenzyme found in every cell of your body. Think of it as a vital fuel source for your cells. It plays a crucial role in countless biological processes, including:

  • Converting food into energy.
  • Repairing damaged DNA.
  • Regulating your circadian rhythm.
  • Strengthening your immune system.

As we age, our natural NAD+ levels decline, which is believed to be a contributing factor to many age-related health issues. This is why NAD+ therapy—which aims to replenish these levels—has gained so much attention.

Why "NAD+ Safety" is a Valid Concern

The safety of NAD+ therapy is not a question of the molecule itself, but rather the quality of the product and the credibility of the provider. The internet is flooded with unregulated products and services, and not all NAD+ is created equal.

When you're considering NAD+ therapy, you must be vigilant about the following:

  1. Product Quality and Purity: Unregulated sources may contain impurities or incorrect dosages. These products can be ineffective at best and harmful at worst.
  2. Proper Dosing and Administration: The right dosage for NAD+ can vary significantly from person to person. An incorrect dose can lead to unwanted side effects.
  3. Medical Supervision: NAD+ therapy should always be administered under the supervision of a licensed healthcare provider who can assess your medical history and ensure the treatment is right for you.
Pharmacies utilized by GobyMeds undergo strict quality testing prior to being used as a medication course.

The Science Behind NAD+

Clinical and preclinical studies provide a growing body of evidence on NAD+ therapy. A systematic review published in the American Journal of Physiology-Endocrinology and Metabolism found that supplementation with NAD+ precursors was generally well-tolerated with a low incidence of side effects, such as muscle pain, fatigue, and headaches. While studies show promising results in animal models for anti-aging and disease prevention, human trials are still ongoing and have shown varied results. For example, some studies have noted improvements in quality of life and anxiety levels, while others have found no significant changes in certain physiological functions.

Potential Side Effects of NAD+

When administered correctly, side effects from NAD+ therapy are typically mild and temporary. The most common side effects are often related to the speed of administration during an IV drip and can include:

  • Nausea or stomach discomfort.
  • Mild flushing or tingling sensations.
  • Headaches or dizziness.

At GobyMeds, NAD+ can be purchased as a nasal spray or a subcutaneous injection. Both of these methods of application lead to less side effects on average than IV drips.

Conclusion
